Hey! This is Cara (Wild One) and Brianna (Cara’s BFF) and we are here to invade Cheri’s blog and share our friendship story with you….
C: So a couple days later, or weeks, not really sure which, I was coming home from the store with my dad and I said, “Dad can you drop me off at that one girls house, I wanna see if she can play?”
So my dad stopped in front of her house, (not that it was a long walk), I rang the door bell and asked if Brianna could play. She could!!! We played My Lil’ Ponies all afternoon…and well, then the real ‘specialness’ began… Brianna….
B: Pretty sure I’d bet my life that it was trolls we played with on my front porch. Not My Lil’ Ponies. Whatever, I guess this part of the story will remain a little fuzzy. I’d also like to point out that the whole meeting Cara moment was the first ‘awkward’ moment of my life that I can recall. I was quite shy and meeting new people was way out of my comfort zone.
C: Interjecting here… It didn’t take me long to ruin Brianna’s “shy” life…and became that LOUD friend… the type who steals the computer to interject such things….okay back to you Brie.
B: Yep, Cara and I have opposite personalities; I’ve been in many ‘out of my comfort zone’ moments during my 18 year friendship with Cara. Ok, where was I. So I guess the troll play date went well because we’re still friends to this day! In reference to the ‘specialness’ that Cara refers to…..it’s the way we relate to each other I suppose. For instance.
C: Hey Butt….let me talk
B: No Beastie, it’s my turn, stop interrupting ….
C: It’s what I do!
B: *Makes dog sounds and bites Cara’s shoulder*…..
C: No really she just bit my shoulder….okay…
B: I actually missed because she jumped away in fear…but yeah, that’s a glimpse into our specialness.
B: Cara is a friend who has been, and always will be, sister-like in that it doesn’t matter how far away she is or how long it’s been since we talked, she’s still ‘my same Cara’.
C: And I always will be – because you’re my Brianna. I know I can always count on you, and you know you can count on me. You have been a second sister, a confidant, an ear, and so much more….I love you.
B: Awww, tears. You are the only friend I have that I would feel comfortable smacking in the butt or farting in front of (did I just say that?) That says a lot about you and our friendship.
C: Hey I did rub off on you!
B: Oh Look Cara, it’s a pic of us from the olden days!
C: Check out our sweet hair accessories….and look my mom made us put our heads together then too!
B: Very classy. I can’t believe how long we’ve been friends. Thanks for liking me all these years š Love ya friend.
C: Love you too!!!
Don’t worry everyone Cheri will be back tomorrow…or the next day….or sometime soon!!!!
Editor Note:
As a young mom, I would rock and nurse my firstborn baby and pray that God would bring a best friend into our little girl’s life. It meant moving from Upstate New York to the frozen tundra of Minnesota and leaving a best friend of mine — but it was worth it. Not only did Cara find a wonderful friend I prayed for, but I gained a new friend too — Brianna’s momma.
